Now, this is what the Aztecs told, I think, initially Cortes, and I think that that was also echoed in Sahagún's very good ethnography. He was there the next generation in what the Aztec capital became, Mexico City. And he wouldn't put anything in his book that he couldn't verify from three independent sources. So he's a really good source. I love... What a good investigative reporter he was.

But it is possible, A, that the Aztecs were exaggerating to Cortes to impress him. Or B, Cortes was exaggerating to Spain to validate destroying the empire. And these are nettling questions we may never answer. What is this Noche Triste situation? That's the time that the Spanish screw up, get their hostage killed, who's the king.

Montezuma dies, and without him as the hostage, the Aztecs are free to just kill the Spanish. And they are planted in the middle of the city, and they have to escape at night along the causeways across the lake. And that's the sad night, the Noche Triste. And they get decimated. But a lot of people do survive. The captain survived. Cortez survives. A couple hundred people.

There were like less than a thousand Spanish in the capital at that point. I guess there were only a couple hundred. Cortez was returning with a couple thousand Spanish. The story goes it was Pedro Alvarado who screwed it all up. Pedro Alvarado was this red-haired, fiery dude. The Spanish called him the son of the sun, Tonatillo. And they had been there for months.

They had Montezuma captured as a polite – guest of their quarters, but he really couldn't leave and he was ordered to do whatever he wanted by Cortez, bring me gold, all this sort of stuff. They were stockpiling gold in the compound that the Spanish had been given.

But then Cortes gets word from the coast that Cuba has sent a couple of ships with a thousand more men to come and subdue him, that he was not allowed to attack and colonize. He didn't have the authority, and they were coming to stop Cortes. And Cortez said, OK, Alvarado, you're in charge here. I'm going to go over to the coast and I'm going to convince these people to be with us, not against us.
